What is DNA?
A
The smallest unit of living organisms
B
The basic genetic material found in cells
C
A protein that accelerates the rate of chemical reactions
D
A container used for bioprocessing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA). DNA contains the code for building and maintaining an organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction. The genetic (hereditary) material for all living things is composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The structure of DNA must enable this substance to store coded information that control the biological function of cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-5: -“DNA is a group of molecules that is responsible for carrying and transmitting the hereditary materials or the genetic instructions from parents to offsprings.”
